Breathe new life into old images with the Kenro Film Scanner

Kenro Ltd, the specialist photo & video distributor for the UK and Ireland, has announced its new Kenro Film Scanner - the KNSC101 - and you don't even need a computer.

The scanner is very simple to use and features a built-in, 2.4 inch TFT LCD preview screen, so that you can make instant choices on which pictures to scan. There is also a TV out connector in NTSC/PAL format, for previewing on the big screen.

The unit accepts colour and black and white negatives, as well as mounted and unmounted slides and also has a Super 8 insert for digitising frames from your old movies! Even 126 and 110 size film is catered for with the included adapters.

White balance is automatic and you have the choice of using either automatic exposure or the manual control to increase or lower the exposure by up to +/- 2.0EV.

The Kenro Film Scanner is powered by a 240V mains adapter and simply connects to your computer via USB cable. Both Windows and Mac computers are supported. Or, the Kenro Film Scanner can be used as a ‘stand-alone’ device and store the scans to an SD memory card (up to 32GB is supported). There is an internal memory of 128MB.

Using a CMOS sensor, the digitised images are scanned at 14 megapixels (4416 x 3312) and can be interpolated up to 22 megapixels in JPEG format.

SRP of the Kenro Film Scanner KNSC101 is just £101.94 including VAT.

Says Paul Kench, Kenro's managing director: ''This film scanner is a great addition to Kenro’s growing range of inexpensive but high-quality photography equipment. It’s so easy to use; just insert your film, view the preview and make your scan. Once your masterpiece is digitised you can take it into your preferred image editing program, which is where the fun really starts!''
